Puck's suggestion for the German Kaiser's benefit / Ehrhart.
Summary
Print shows William II, the German Emperor, wearing a crown and a regal robe with a ribbon that states "Sons of Cold Water", sitting at a table with other military figures, and Count Leo von Caprivi pouring out a glass of "Ice Water" for William to drink; the others are drinking wine or champagne.
Caption: His actions are praiseworthy, but his speeches at banquets indicate his great need of a strict adherence to cold water when he dines out.
Illus. from Puck, v. 36, no. 917, (1894 October 3), centerfold.

Alois Senefelder, the inventor of lithography, introduced the subject of colored lithography in 1818. Printers in other countries, such as France and England, were also started producing color prints. The first American chromolithograph—a portrait of Reverend F. W. P. Greenwood—was created by William Sharp in 1840. Chromolithographs became so popular in American culture that the era has been labeled as "chromo civilization". During the Victorian times, chromolithographs populated children's and fine arts publications, as well as advertising art, in trade cards, labels, and posters. They were also used for advertisements, popular prints, and medical or scientific books.
